Lemon Pippin, my Apple Family character, appears to be the average filly on the outside. However, on the inside, she feels trapped, unable to escape the disgusting purity that is the Celestial Guild. Along with this is the drama of trying to find her talent. Guess what? Dropped right on top of that is her constant attempt to seem like a normal, happy worshiper of Celestia, and not a depressed, Luna-worshiping being. So, as you can guess, poor Lemon is feeling amazingly depressed.
The LR will release two Ursa Majors onto the CG. Being the best herders, the Apple Family will be asked to capture them, along with the guild's best unicorns. Young Lemon is told by one of her older siblings to stay at home, but they (whoever delivers the message to the AF) actually request that the young filly comes.
Indeed, young Lemon will come. The two Ursas will be held back by both lasso and magic, and, in the midst of it all, Lemon will take the chance to escape. She will be thought to be a spy by the few ponies of the LR that had released the Ursas (they stayed to watch), but one insists that a filly won't do any harm, so they take her back with them. She is enrolled in their army school, and has very low grades in her tactical classes. Of course, this makes her a laughingstock.
One day, sick of all that, she stays up at the makeshift school (the LR moves around a lot, y'know) all night, practicing, particularly with knives. In her rage, she hits each target, and the only teacher strange enough to stay up that late tells her she's ready for a smaller target.
Being that they're a criminal group that moves around a lot, much of their stuff is makeshift. Unable to make many targets, they use a thing very familiar to Lemon as small targets; apples. Of course, this reminds her of her family, and she gets even more enraged, splitting each one with the knife. During this, although she didn't even notice, in her anger, she has earned her cutie mark; a ring of lemon pippin slices.
Lemon's grades shoot up, particularly when things involve bladed weapons. Many students fear her instead of insult her, and she loves every second of it. Every. Fricking. Second.
Thennnnnnnn. . . A challenger arrives. Some colt is brave enough to call her Pippin instead of Lemon, and to make her slaves (the other students) do things for him, and, of course, Lemon won't have that. They get into a knife fight, and a teacher notices. You'd expect them to stop it, yes? Well, you're wrong! Instead, they get put in an honors' class. Yep, so now Lemon has to deal with that imbecile every day. To worsen it, the honors' students have two rooms (well, large tents) reserved for them, so they become neighbors. (Like boarding schools, the fillies get one and the colts get the other.) Lemon expresses her hate for this colt in front of her roommates, and two of them (a unicorn and a pegasus) strongly agree. Now, I know that you're expecting a CMC-like group here, but. . . Not exactly. Instead of being "equals", these two fillies appoint Lemon the "leader" of what is a wee bit of a clique. The only difference? These three fillies aren't feminine, fashion-loving idiots, they're three of the most feared students of Luna's Youth Army-Training School.
These fillies are best friends, and, being that the foals not only learn battle skills here, but basic school things, their jaws drop when they learn about the Cutie Mark Crusaders in history.
Why? Because Apple Bloom and Lemon Pippin aren't only both in a group like this, but Apple Bloom and Lemon Pippin share the same mane colour and fur colour, AND are related. The pegasus and the unicorn share certain traits with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, but their RPers can decide them (can't be related, can't be exact lookalikes or recolours).
The three fillies name their group (I was thinking Bladefish or Blades & Glory). Aaaand. . . Well, we'll see where it goes from there.
ALTERNATE ENDINGS!!!:
THE COLT:
- Lemon kills him in a sparring session
- Lemon cripples him in one of those schoolyard fights, where the students are chanting "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
- They go on being enemies
- They somehow fall in love. YES, THAT WOULD BE WEIRD.
THE URSAS:
- One tramples the Temple of Celestia
- They flee
- The CG tames and steals them (X3)
LEMON'S DISAPPEARANCE:
- The CG thinks she's dead, but the only sibling Lemon ever liked at all (I'd think that'd be Summer) keeps on dreaming of what Lemon's been up to (although it's blurry), and sometimes even gets a thought or two of Lemon's mixed in.
- She's thought dead, and that's the end of it.
Needed characters:
- Two Ursas
- Four LR ponies to bring the Ursas to the CG
- UNICORNS, UNICORNS, UNICORNS! (CG)
- A few Apple Family characters.
- Several teachers for the army school of the LR
- An LR colt
- An LR unicorn filly
- An LR pegasus filly
